Planting Guide:

• Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny location in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. Mangostan trees thrive in tropical and subtropical climates.
• Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is loose, well-draining, and slightly acidic (pH 5.5-6.5). Mangostan trees do not tolerate poorly-draining soils, so amend heavy or clay-like soil with organic matter or compost.
• Plant the Seeds: Plant Mangostan Seeds 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep in the soil, spacing them 12-15 feet (3.5-4.5 meters) apart to give them room to grow.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but ensure it drains well. Water regularly during dry periods, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Care for the Tree: Provide the tree with plenty of sunlight, room to grow, and occasional fertilization with a balanced fertilizer. Regularly prune dead or damaged branches to maintain the health of the tree.
• Harvesting: Mangostan fruits are ready to harvest when the skin turns purple and the fruit feels firm. Cut the fruit from the tree carefully, as the rind can be thick.
